Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ pounds Chicory salad, washed; spun dry
4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil; plus 1/2 C
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons Virgin olive oil
½ cup Polenta or corn meal; for dredging
4 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
4 Boneless fillets of Pompano, or Sole or Trout
1 medium Vine-ripened tomato
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Capers; rinsed, drained
2 cups Spicy peppers vinaigrette (see previous recipe)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, toss clean chicory with 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 plates, placing mixture in center of each. In a 10-inch to 12-inch saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons virgin oil until smoking. Meanwhile, dredge Pompano fillet and sprinkle with black pepper. Carefully place crusted Pompano in saute pan and cook until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side). Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato and put into blender with balsamic, capers and remaining half cup extra virgin olive oil. Blend until smooth.

Remove Pompano fillets and place one on each plate over chicory. Arrange peppers vinaigrette around on plate and drizzle with tomato oil and serve immediately.
